Reports previously suggested Cohen had been barred from the Academy Awards but Oscars producer Brian Grazer has now insisted the Borat star is welcome at the Hollywood ceremony because they ‘respect him as an artist’.

Baron Cohen posted a photo of his alter ego with tickets to the event on Twitter: ‘VICTORY IS OURS! Today the Mighty Nation of Wadiya triumphed over the Zionist snakes of Hollywood,’ he celebrated.

‘Evil and all those who made Satan their protector were vanquished and driven into the Pacific Sea. What I am trying to say here is that the Academy have surrendered and sent over two tickets and a parking pass! TODAY OSCAR, TOMORROW OBAMA!’

Yesterday Cohen released a tongue-in-cheek video of a speech by Aladeen.

The clip shows him in a palace and wearing the type of over-the-top military uniform favoured by tyrants, while wagging his finger at the camera and complaining about Oscars bosses.

‘While I applaud the Academy for taking away my right to free speech, I warn you that if you do not lift your sanctions and give me my tickets back by 12pm on Sunday, you will face unimaginable consequences,’ he ranted.

Aladeen concluded: ‘Death to the West, death to America and good luck to Billy Crystals.’

Cohen stars in Martin Scorsese’s Hugo, which is nominated for 11 Oscars, including best picture.
